Chapter 2128: Chapter 2074–2075: Fu Xi’s Zither – Duke Dingguo’s Ambition
“The time we can stay conscious is becoming increasingly short. Demonic Energy runs rampant. The introduction of the Demonic Way was our doing, but to close it again or prevent some of the powerful individuals from being tempted and falling into corruption is impossible.” The Red Emperor’s beautiful countenance held a complex expression. He, once the sage of the human race, had witnessed their rise step by step. Now, a calamity for the human race was starting at his hands, leaving him in a dilemma, tormented.
The Emperor Bai’s face was resolute, his eyes flowing with the light of wisdom, perceiving All Heavens. He calmly listened to the Red Emperor’s lament without speaking, for he knew that the Red Emperor was expressing his reflections, not seeking a response from him.
He would occasionally nod, his divine eyes gazing into the universe, intending to engrave this world into the depths of his soul.
He was ordered to guard this small world, fully accepting it without regret, until that day when everything underwent an unimaginable change. The White Bone Demon Tower emerged, leading them to lose their rationality and become ensnared, unable to extricate themselves, even forgetting the teachings of the Emperor Monarch.
This kind of obsession convinced them that they could break the grip of the Evil Technique, thus opening another path for the human race, allowing more powerful beings to be born.
But now, it seemed it was merely the temptation deep within the White Bone Tower that led them onto this irreversible path. Remembering the Emperor Monarch’s teachings, his heart pained.
He was certain it was not the True Immortals of the Demonic Way acting behind the scenes, but surely a Taoist Monarch’s handiwork. Otherwise, even the powerful True Immortals of the Demonic Way could not possibly manipulate them without resistance.
“Roar!”
A crazed sound erupted from the Red Emperor’s mouth as he was instantly shrouded in Demonic Energy. The mark on his brow emitted a bloody aura, and a shadow of the White Bone Tower appeared above his head, enveloping him.
The Emperor Bai’s expression changed drastically, watching as his companion fell into derangement, helpless to prevent this from happening repeatedly.
“One day, this Emperor will break this Evil Technique personally. White Bone, every cause and effect will have its moment of repayment. You led our human race’s countless powerful beings into corruption; the Emperor Monarch will surely slay you one day. Red Emperor, even if this Emperor completely falls and the Divine Soul is obliterated, I will use the Forbidden Technique to preserve your life for when the Emperor Monarch intervenes.” The Emperor Bai’s snowy white long hair instantly turned black, drops of Divine Blood entered the Red Emperor’s body, extending his lifespan; the black hair was as the strands of the Heavenly Path. The Emperor Bai, among the overseas human race, has become even stronger despite falling, possessing a powerful Origin as a defense.
For a long time, a sigh echoed, just as the Red Emperor mentioned earlier, all they did was to become stronger. They originally believed they could control the Demonic Way, but did not anticipate being dominated by it, unwilling to blood-sacrifice their own kind for this to occur.
The Red Emperor and Emperor Bai once intimidated the world; although they were not True Immortals, they stood at the peaks under the Five Emperors, forming deep friendships with many strong figures among the Five Emperors’ descendants. It is because of this that the Blue King hesitated to make a decision, unless the situation reached this point; he was still reluctant to act.
In the past, they together defended the human race from battles across eight directions, defeated the Demon King’s of the Demon Race, traveled far across the Realms of Heavenly Seas to preserve the human race’s bloodline, and later engaged in opening the All Heavens, forging the human race’s glorious peak. Even the five Emperor Monarchs admired them greatly.
Even across vast distances, the Blue King seemed to feel the spiritual struggle of his former companions and comrades. He showed a nostalgic expression, feeling he had to act for the future of the human race, yet held onto a glimmer of hope, as long as Yangxu God Monarch had not truly fallen, there was still a chance.
“Fu Xi’s Zither, do not let this King down. During the days of Emperor Monarch, you could intimidate eight directions, even contend with the Demon Emperor. Now, may you suppress opponents, contain the Emperor Bai and the Red Emperor together, thus resolving this calamity and preserving their lives.” From the Blue King’s palm, the ancient Divine Zither flowed with eternal Divine Light, seemingly sensing the Blue King’s prayer, strands of light entered Qianling Divine Lord’s body.
“The Divine Object has spirit, Fu Xi’s Zither must be able to save them.” The Blue King revealed a long-lost smile on his face, as if he saw a beautiful Future, rubbing his eyes not wanting everything before him to be an illusion, for that might cause him to collapse.
The Fire Emperor’s figure appeared alongside the Blue King, letting out a sigh, looking at the ancient zither in the other’s palm, a glint of hope appeared in his eyes.
Fu Xi’s Zither, the Divine Weapon forged by the Green Emperor, has a sound possessing Divine Power, able to dispel demonic evil while also calming the heart and mind, greatly beneficial to the cultivators.
Upon seeing Fu Xi’s Zither, the Fire Emperor suddenly remembered its magical effects, perhaps it could be used to lift the curse and Evil Technique upon himself.
“After this battle, I hope King Brother can lend me Fu Xi’s Zither to dispel the Evil Technique upon me.” The Fire Emperor spoke sincerely to the Blue King.
“Evil Technique!” The Blue King showed a doubtful expression, with a faint green Divine Light shining from his brow onto the Fire Emperor, twin beams of golden light radiating.
